John Miller has taken writing seriously since writing a major high school paper about why 2Pac was most definitely still alive. He has yet to hit a hole-in-one, bowl a 300 or score 180 points in one round of darts.

Time to Trade Derek Roy?
With the dark cloud surrounding the Buffalo Sabres (18-18-5) these days, you would think that they were in last place and the season was already over. In reality, the Sabres are a talented team that has suffered from a tremendously unlucky run of bad injuries. And they still sit only five points out of a [...]
Sabres Try to Get Back on Track vs. Senators
I don’t think that this one will end up in a seven minute brawl that includes a goalie fight. But it could. The coming holiday season finds our heroes, the Buffalo Sabres (16-13-3) wounded, but not dead by any means. But when I say wounded, I mean literally wounded. There’s a chance that the Sabres [...]
Sabres Try to Build Momentum and Get Healthy
Back-to-back games are always a test for teams. You have to bring the same effort and intensity for two straight nights. And while the Buffalo Sabres (16-12-3) haven’t had the best couple of weeks, they need to find a way to build momentum. Last Saturday, the Sabres got drilled 4-1 by the New York Rangers. [...]
Sabres Will Look to Improved Health for a Boost
It’s easy to look at the past when things have gone your way. When you give up two shorthanded goals in one period, you might not want to look back on that. But it is what it is. Things have not exactly gone the way that the Buffalo Sabres (15-12-2) would have hoped. The Sabres [...]
GAME RECAP: Panthers 1 @ Sabres 2 (OT)
At a certain point, you just have to give the people what they want. In this case, the people are the Buffalo Sabres (15-11-2) fans who pack First Niagara Arena for every home game. And they wanted a win. Sure the Florida Panthers (16-8-5) weren’t in tip-top condition on Friday night. They started their backup [...]
GAME PREVIEW: Panthers @ Sabres (Friday, December 9, 2011)
It would seem that all Buffalo Sabres (14-11-2) fans want for the holidays is a home victory. Then another. Then another. But first, you need one. Standing in the way of that first victory on Friday night will be the Florida Panthers (16-8-4). While the Sabres are coming off of crushing overtime defeat at home [...]
GAME RECAP: Flyers 5 @ Sabres 4 (OT)
Some points are better than others. For the Buffalo Sabres (14-11-2) they really needed that point on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers (16-7-3). But in reality, they really needed an outright victory over the hated Flyers. Once again, the Sabres came right out of the gate with an intensity rarely seen this season. And [...]
GAME PREVIEW: Flyers @ Sabres (Wednesday, December 7, 2011)
The Buffalo Sabres (14-11-1) and the Philadelphia Flyers (15-7-3) have more in common than most would care to admit. Both teams genuinely hate each other. Both teams are better on the road than they are at home. Both teams have old-school hockey fan-bases. Both teams underwent fundamental changes during the offseason. Despite a number of [...]
GAME RECAP: Sabres 3 @ Predators 2
“Woo-hoo!” The Buffalo Sabres (14-11-1) victory over the Nashville Predators (12-10-4) made my inner Homer Simpson want to come out and play. And not just for any one reason. The return of Ryan Miller was a huge lift. The Sabres once again flipped the script and took a 2-0 first period lead of their own. [...]
GAME PREVIEW: Sabres @ Predators (Saturday, December 3, 2011)
If playing front of their home crowd can’t give the Buffalo Sabres (13-11-1) a boost, maybe the return of their star goaltender can. The Sabres are on the road Saturday night to face the Nashville Predators (12-9-4). Ryan Miller will start in goal once again for the Sabres. It’s Miller’s first start since suffering a [...]
